The limit detection switch 13 operates. Therefore, the power supply to the motor 22 is stopped, and the wire W can be prevented from being excessively wound.

When lowering the suspension height of the article P,
When the down button for simultaneous driving of the remote controller 2 is pressed, the suspension unit 1A, 1B is energized at almost the same time when the sleeve 92 of the wire gripper 90 is driven upward by the electromagnetic actuator 30 and the reel unit 11 is turned on. Is driven to rotate in the winding direction, and almost simultaneously, the motor 2
2 rotates a predetermined number of rotations in the winding direction to wind up the wire W by a predetermined length, and then the motor 22 stops once and rotates in the winding direction. Thereafter, when the remote control 2 is released when the desired position is reached, the power supply to the motor 22 is stopped.

When the wire W is wound down beyond the limit during the winding of the wire W, the wire W comes into contact with the detector 12a of the reverse winding prevention switch 12, the contactor 12b is opened, and the motor 22 Is stopped. Therefore, inconveniences such as the wire W being wound up on the reel body 11 in reverse can be prevented. Then, in this state, the remote control 2
When the up button is operated, the wire W is operated as described above.
Is wound around the reel body 11 without support.

On the other hand, the reel body 11 of each wire WA, WB
Since the winding diameters of A and 11B do not always match, the rail member 100 may be inclined. In this case, the individual driving up button or the down button of the remote controller 2 is pressed to individually adjust the suspension height of each suspension unit 1A, 1B to correct the inclination or the like. Therefore, the hanging posture of the article P can always be kept in an optimal state.
